NSW Office of Coal Seam Gas: what is wrong with this picture?
Perhaps readers will have sharper eyes than mine. Can anyone see a coal seam gas exploration company's surveying team in the website header image? Or a drill pad being cleared and levelled? Or a test drill being sunk? Or a flare pit being lit or a well being capped? Are any of the dams shown holding CSG waste water?
Is this picture supposed to represent a before or after scene? Does it represent Northern Rivers land on which any of these sealed or not-in-production wells exist?
Or is the Office of Coal Seam Gas indulging in a bit of propaganda on behalf of the coal seam gas industry with its 'pleasant pastoral scene' display?
